Most dangerous countries for Americans to travel to

[KMack]

Homicide being the cause of death.



With that in mind, we adjusted our ranking to account for the volume of travel from the U.S. We calculated the number of Americans killed in a country per 100,000 American travelers, using data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. We excluded any country that received fewer than 100,000 American visitors between 2009 and 2016.

The Latin American, African and Islamic countries are no surprise to me. But Thailand and the Philippines not so much

In 2018, a survey study found South Africa and Turkey were condemned as the most dangerous countries, from among 20 of the most popular tourist destinations.

Iceland and the United Arab Emirates are the safest countries in the world for tourists, while South Africa and Turkey are the most dangerous, CountryLiving said citing a new travel safety index.

Which? Travel compared 20 of the most popular holiday destinations around the world using crime statistics from the World Economic Forum, natural disaster risk assessments from the World Risk Report, health risk data from the NHS Fit for Travel site and terrorism risk levels from the Foreign Office.

The Nordic island was crowned the least risky to visit due to a low chance of natural disasters, along with minimal crime and health risks. The threat of a terrorist attack "can't be ruled out" but is less likely than in other countries on the list. No wonder two million visitors flock there every year.

The UAE, which is home to popular British tourist spots like Dubai and Abu Dhabi, came in second with a "likely" risk of terrorism. Singapore was third, followed by Spain and Australia.
At the other end of the table, researchers found violent crime levels and health risks – such as Diphtheria, Hepatitis A and Malaria – were at their highest in South Africa.
Turkey and Thailand also fared badly. Both countries have a "very likely" probability of terrorism, along with health concerns including Tetanus and Malaria.
Here's the full safety index:
1. Iceland
2. UAE
3. Singapore
4. Spain
5. Australia
6. Canada
7. Japan
8. Morocco
9. Jordan
10. Barbados
11. Greece
12. Vietnam
13. France
14. Italy
15. US
16. Mexico
17. India
18. Thailand
19. Turkey
20. South Africa

I don't know about normal people but yes, Turkey can be the most dangerous place for an Armenian nationalist

South Africa was actually judged as more dangerous, and Turkey was judged as the second most dangerous country.

And, the research study wasn't conducted by an Armenian organization, but an Armenian newspaper reported it.

I see that Turks can laugh about killing people whom they don't like (ie Armenian Nationalists). What a wonderfully dangerous country Turkey must be for people who open their mouths over coffee and pastry, to discuss the daily news.

My list is homicide only and based on per capita visits. During this span 11 Americans die via homicide in Brazil.
